Interdisciplinary authors come together to reflect on the history of chair design through 101 selected chairs Every chair tells its own story, and all of them fit into this book--even the stories in which design is not overtly the topic at hand. Chairs and artificial intelligence; famous chairs on which Freud, Pessoa or Proust sat; chairs as historical, political and societal symbols; chairs for thin or corpulent people; rocking, creative, royal chairs: all these facets of chairs and more are packed into this volume. Bringing together writers, design historians, architecture critics and art curators, Chairpedia is a compilation of anecdotes about the chair--beginning with Mauricio Wiesenthal's Tales to Read Seated, published by Andreu World--and comprises a history of chair design told through 101 examples.
